Every morning,

I still open my eyes to greet the day,

I still hear the birds singing away,

I still feel the wind blowing astray,

But still you’re no more there.

Every noon time,

I still eat my lunch to fill my hunger,

I still walk to reach wherever,

I still talk to whomever,

But still you’re no more there.

Every evening,

I still drive home and take my shower,

I still stroll by to buy some flowers,

I still cook my own dinner,

But still you’re no more there.

Every nite,

I still sit on my bed and read my novels,

I still write my diary about my day all over,

I still lay my head on the pillow and fall to slumber,

But still you’re no more there.

Still you’re no more ...

LOVE is...

When you are willing to sacrifice ANYTHING for one's good,

When you can let go when it's time to,

When you SMILE everytime you think of someone u love,

When you say you hate him when he's hurt you.

I take you to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love.

I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before.

I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together.

I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.

I grew up in the 40's/50's/60's with practical parents. A mother, God loves her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recycle queen, before they had a name for it... A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones.

Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away.

I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat & Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress things we keep.

It was a way of life, and sometimes ...

When I was 11 yrs old, I started my own personal diary from a makeshift notebook. It became my "best friend". I wrote my life's stories & secrets I would never dare to share with anyone else. About the boy I liked, the things I went through at school & church, my personal thoughts of my friends & family.

I always lock it up in my drawer in the bedroom. At times, mum will mention something which sounded very familiar to what I wrote in my diary, that I did wonder if she somehow managed to get her hands on it & read all my secrets!

I stopped writing when I turned 16. I guess life was then too full for me to be able to find time to write all of it down.

Then, back in Aug 2004, my future brother-in-law, [link=http://blogs.msdn.com/lokeuei/default.aspx]...

There were 11 divers including myself on this dive. Scenery underwater was beautiful blue but dark as well

I first noticed a solitary white-tip shark on the bottom sea at 12 meters.

At the corner of my eyes, I spotted a school of jackfish to the right. Immediately I notified my divers & they zoomed towards the school. It was amazing being in the big school, especially when suddenly a huge Dogtooth Tuna whisked into the school, trying to catch its breakfast. It was like a bom was dropped in ...
